Vector (Parametric) Equations of Surfaces

This document discusses vector equations, or parametric equations, that define various surfaces. It provides examples of parametric equations for planes, paraboloids, cones, cylinders, and spheres. For each surface, it gives the defining equation in terms of x, y, and z coordinates and then shows how to write a parametric representation r(u,v) in terms of parameters u and v.
